Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Ford's Green

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you work in Ford's Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ford's Green. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common problems we fix in Ford's Green

Most chips are on edges and corners, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A heat mark or burn

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ford's Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
